**Team Formation

FUN 1/2/3: Groups will be formed based on an evaluation skate to be held in mid September. The program is designed to be fluid and allow players to move between groups as their development suits. While the FUN 1/2/3 programs are primarily designed for players born from 2019 to 2014, older players who are new to skating or the sport of ringette may be placed here for development.

FUN 3 League Play: Players interested in playing league games will be evaluated to determine that they have achieved the skills required to participate in FUN 3, as outlined in https://ringetteontario.com/childrens-ringette/. Additional fees will apply as outlined above. Anyone who played FUN3 in the 2022/23 season and is not of age to move to U12 and anyone who played FUN2 in the 2022/23 season and was evaluated at the end of the season will have a password emailed to them. This password will be required to select the FUN 3 package. Please email registrar@whitbyringette.com if you think you should receive the code but did not. Additional evaluations will be held at the beginning of the season and players will still have the opportunity to join FUN3 at that time.

Moving participants between FUN2 and FUN3: A participant should be able to demonstrate that they have acquired the majority of the skills included in the FUN2 assessment. Participants should have a ‘Yes’ for every skill in the Success Criteria column and a ‘Yes’ for at least 6 out of the 8 skills in the Technical Criteria column. If a participant gets this score or higher, then they may be ready to move on to FUN3. Again, be sure to consider all aspects of the participant’s readiness beyond technical skills when discussing whether to move up.

U12: Teams will be formed based on registration numbers and sort skates to be held before the beginning of the season. It is anticipated that there will be both a U12B and U12A team.
